It may just be me.  I was born with a deformity where I only have 2 hands.

Ah, so you've chosen the lazy internet response.  Which is, of course, utterly invalidated by the fact that zero games in the N64 library ask you to play with 3 hands.

The N64 controller was designed for dual use to make both the analog stick and D-pad comfortable to use, and it greatly succeeds as the N64 controller might just be the most comfortable ever designed.  Bravo to Nintendo for fixing a problem right out of the gate that continues to bedevil the industry 25 years later.

I don't need the internet to give me that response.  That was my first thought when I started handling the controller.  "WTF, this thing requires 3 hands!?!"  That and the Z-button was dumb...and the analogue stick.  Really the whole controller was an abomination.

Also I have a buddy who really loved the N64 and he said there was at least one game where you can to keep changing the grip to play it.  It really does require three hands.
